I’m a yellow lover as well! : ) Have been since I was a child. My Mama Jones’ kitchen walls were the color of sunshine and it was always my favorite place to be. : ) Now I have yellow walls in my parlor and beneath the chair rail in the eat-in end of my own kitchen, I have a Waverly yellow plaid wallpaper.

But I will confess to a love affair with another color as well. (Yes, I’m a two-timer!) ; ) I adore coral! My front door is coral, I had coral carpeting in my last home, and I’ll have coral in this house before I’m done. Promise. It’s such a happy color!

I just love the colors purple and gold; not together. I love gold for jewelry and accessories. I love the gold is in style and doesn’t look like grandmother’s jewelry. I love purple for markers and fonts and accessories and bags and the occasional sweater or shirt. But really I just wear a lot of black, brown, and greys…It’s nice to have little pops of color here and there though, I think! I love purple like you love yellow…when I see it I’m just drawn to it.

Thank you for posting the links to these items…like I really needed to see that I definitely added that bench to my wishlist too. ADORABLE!! I have lately been drawn to yellow/gray combos and red. I love red lately which I think is kind of outside my box.

I adore the color yellow.. It’s so bright & cheerful! I don’t have a lot of it around my house either come to think of it (and with my skin tone, I cannot wear it! I had painted a kitchen years back a color called Wild Bamboo (http://marketplace.hgtv.com/Product.aspx?Lid=2862-8062014), it looks WAY more yellow in person.. It was lovely!

Honestly, I don’t have a favorite color…but I have a favorite color group. I’ve always been drawn to cool colors…greens and blues mostly and I can even like the right shade of purple. They make me think of the earth and grass and forests and coolness!

I used to have a love affair with yellow. For a decade, my letter/email closing was “Love and Sunshine, Jen” because of the color yellow. My first adult purchase was a gorgeous butter yellow couch, and I collected yellow for every room in the house. My first interview suit was pale yellow and black (it was the late 90s!). When my son came home from the hospital jaundiced, we jokingly played Coldplay’s “Yellow” and I still get teary over “I swam across/I jumped across for you/Oh what a thing to do/Cause you were all yellow”–uh, more on the love sentiment and not that he was actually yellow.

Yellow is bright and cheery and happy and young and all things Good.

I can’t say I know why, but it’s changed for me. The kids ask me now what my favorite color is and I say green, but I fondly think of yellow like the “good” boyfriend with whom it didn’t work out but you only have good things to say about him.

I adore the color yellow as well, it makes my heart happy and my soul smile. I have the most FAB yellow purse and vintage yellow knitted headwrap(?) thingy, lol! (It’s cuter than it sounds, I promise!)

This makes me swoony. Did you know that my wedding colors were pink and yellow because I love them both so much, even though people asked if I asked picked Easter colors (I did not, I picked happy colors). My groomsmen wore yellow vests and daisy buttioneres (I have no freaking clue how to spell that) and it was so very pretty. Anyway, when I was pregnant with Luke, we had to paint the nursery yellow because I couldn’t envision a baby’s room in any other color, so I get your yellow love.

I LOVE yellow! I definitely don’t have enough of it though. I think I need that wall art. And you look like a movie star in that picture! My color obsession has been navy blue. It can go with so much and looks great with bright color accents! But now, I need to go on the hunt for yellow things. It’s such a happy color- especially during these drab winter months.

I actually LOVE the color that is primarily on your blog, sort of a “spa” blue/green. That’s my “zen” color… But I can totally dig your love affair with yellow, especially the way YOU present it. Such beautiful things…

My children talk a LOT about favorite colors. Like my 5 year old daughter, my favorite is red. But that’s not a good color to use in decorating although last year we bought a wonderful deep red and khaki sectional. I just painted my living room a sage green that I love. My wardrobe is generally black and gray with bright colors like red and hot pink thrown in. So much so that my 5 year old once asked me if I HAVE to wear black to work. (She doesn’t understand that I operate under the dilusion that it makes me look thinner!)

I just had to reply becuase we have had this discussion recently. I am OBSESSED with purple. My little crush on purple has turned into a full on love affair. I painted my daughters room purple and bought a purple purse so I could look at a little purple everyday. It brings me joy when I see something purple. Like your yellow… That is a good trait to have. To see the joy in little things, like a color. Good post =)

let me just say, i used to hate yellow. but seriously, all of a sudden we became partners. in fact, my bed has an abundant of yellow pillows on it. and now i want more of it around my house. i love, love the bench and its reasonably priced. i thought it was going to be gag-me-with-a-spoon expensive. but no, great taste, dear!

also? i just typed this all with one hand, cause im holding miss naomi. i thought you would apppreciate that.

Beth- I too love yellow but sadly it looks terrible on me. For a long time I was in love with a shade that can only be described as mulberry. My newest love affair- well not really new- this has been going on for about a year now- is the color Champagne. I LOVE it. Oh & super pale ballerina pink. Not sure what it is- but I am so drawn to those colors. Oddly enough- you would think fushia is my favorite- I look at my closet and I seem to have a lot of that in there. Maybe it’s because I am so pale- so I need something to give me a little color in my cheeks Besides- living in the desert- I see a lot of brown & earth tones – so I am always adding bright colors to my day. Funny that I don’t consider those brights to be my favorites.
